Body changes to expect after VSG

Haven't ever been thin so wondering what kind of changes to expect? Obviously with the weight loss, I'm expecting things like being more nimble, thighs not rubbing together maybe dropping a shoe size etc. What else can I expect?

Also did anyone experience an unexpected changes (either good or bad) from the weightless e.g being cold, change in taste etc

Appreciate your feedback!

Im not thin YET.. but I've been cold ever since the surgery and I've lost my taste for sweets - Yea!! Everyone is different, but you will find good things and weird things that happen. One weird thing for me - the month after surgery I cried about everything... for no reason. I would laugh while crying because I knew it was ridiculous. That's over, but just a funny little "side effect".

I'm a little over two weeks post op and I feel exactly like I did before surgery except I don't get hungry and a little soup goes a long way. My first week I was sensitive to anything sweet - I couldn't eat the Jell-O in the hospital. But now I feel like my old self. Everything I've tried tastes pretty much the same and I've tolerated everything well. That's something I expected to be different after surgery, but it didn't. I'm still me.
